[quote=Anonymous]The "rigor" in public schools is due to testing. So yes, in that sense, they really push the memorizing facts to pass a test aspect. Private school was more focused on teaching facts but also teaching processes, building skills, etc. Private schools have the luxury of building classes of students that are already above grade level and have the capacity to learn facts and information quickly without as much repetition. This means they don't need to stress so much like a public school to make sure kids are not falling behind, not learning. They already know the kids are ahead so they private school can focus on other areas besides just getting kids to learn basic facts.[/quote]
